Infiniti QX50: owner feedback

Many people who want to buy a presentable and powerful crossover, opt for the Infiniti QX50 (2016). Reviews left on this car by the real owners, make sure that this is really a worthy option. However, its advantages and non-deliveries should be discussed in more detail, focusing precisely on the stories of motorists.

General characteristics

Before discussing the reviews left on the crossover Infiniti QX50, I would like to list the main technical merits of this model.

So, this is an all-wheel drive car equipped with a 2.5-liter petrol unit V6, which generates 222 horsepower. Operated by a 7-step "automatic", which has the function of manual switching.

Front, as well as rear, is equipped with multi-link independent suspension, as well as ventilated disc brakes. The model is equipped with high-strength tires DUNLOP SP SPORT 7000 (225 / 55R18), which provide excellent stability on the road, easy exit and good cross-country ability.

Dynamic performance of the crossover is also encouraging. Its maximum is 206 km / h, and the first "hundred" it exchanges after 9.5 seconds after the start. For a car with a curb weight of 1,842 kilograms, this is an excellent dynamic.

The claimed consumption is also small. At 100 "urban" kilometers the engine consumes about 14.6 liters of gasoline. When driving along the road, the amount of fuel consumed is reduced to 8.5 liters. The capacity of the gas tank is 80 liters, so this amount can be enough to overcome a long distance.

About interior decoration

Since most of the time the owner, like his passengers, spends in the car, it's not surprising that a large part of the reviews begin with his description.

Particular attention is paid to people note a comfortable, leather upholstered multifunctional steering wheel, as well as the informative dashboard behind it with two large radii of the speedometer, tachometer and on-board computer.

Comfort at height. Pleases the excellent quality of finishing materials (natural wood, excellent leather), the availability of free space inside and various containers for storing small things. There are niches in the doors, in the armrest, opening cup holders, and, of course, a glove box.

More people who leave the "Infiniti QX50" reviews, praise the chairs. They are very comfortable, equipped with all sorts of adjustments, but it may seem that they are not quite suitable for tall drivers (growth of 2 meters). Comfort, of course, is not less, but the look aimed at the road, falls under the very top of the windshield. However, there is a way out - you can just throw the back of the chair back and the problem will be solved.

Also, drawing attention to the responses left on the crossover Infiniti QX50, you can see that many praise the audio system. Not surprisingly, it's Bose, which provides the purest sound. Attracts and improved display of the multimedia system, which has become much better than in the previous model. And navigation pleases, because it shows not only maps, but also traffic jams.

Functionality and comfort

They can also be told in detail about the feedback of the owners about the Infiniti QX50. The luggage compartment of this model is small, only 309 liters, but this is sufficient for certain purposes. There can fit a few large suitcases or a large stroller. However, you can always increase the volume by folding the rear row of seats. By the way, you can lower it to the floor only by pressing one button.

People leaving the "Infiniti QX50" (2016) reviews, note the attention and excellent noise insulation. Those motorists who have something to compare, assure - this model has this figure better than many premium models such as Audi Q5, BMW X1, Volvo S60, etc. But if you unscrew the engine to high revs, then in the cabin An incredibly pleasant, quiet "rumbling" of the engine will begin to be heard.

Particularly pleasing is the smoothness observed in all auto reactions. The soft nature of the ride itself sets the owner of the car to a power-like move. In general, the level of driver comfort at altitude. Only some girls note the "heaviness" of the steering wheel when parking.

Main features of the model

They are also important to mention, talking about the "Infiniti QX50". Reviews, a review of the car and the official description always contain information about the key "highlights" of a particular model. And given that the QX50 is a long-awaited crossover, its features can not be ignored.

This model is equipped with an integrated security system (it will be discussed in more detail later). Its task is to improve the reliability of the model. This system has successfully passed many tests for strength. However, this is not surprising, because it includes more than 50 elements that ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.

Another "highlight" is the ability to select the desired speed, which intelligent cruise control will support, when the road will be suitable for this (without tangible obstacles). If a person moves in a dense stream, the system will automatically reduce it. Up to a complete stop.

Even the airbags in this crossover are unusual, but 2-speed. And they are installed not only in front, behind and sides, but also on the ceiling.

However, this is not all that the responses about the Infiniti QX50 are telling. The technical characteristics of this model are really good, but the intellectual braking system deserves special attention.

It is she who makes the crossover so stable. The electronic system distributes braking forces along the axes for maximum effective deceleration. Speed is reduced smoothly, and thanks to this, the driver will never know what are really tangible heels. In addition, this system helps determine the degree of load crossover. If the machine is equipped with an additional weight, the option will apply more effort when braking.

Driving characteristics

They can be discussed in more detail. Yes, and left on the "Infiniti QX50" reviews of owners contain more information on this matter.

Many especially praise the automatic transmission model. Not surprisingly, because it is programmed for maximum savings in gasoline. In addition, the availability of the manual shift mode is also pleasing - this is important for people who are used to controlling the machine's behavior independently.

However, there is some specificity. When driving in unhurried mode on a constant gas, you can observe that the engine speed drops to 1000. However, the automatic transmission does not lower the stage, and the crossover rides due to the torque. However, it is not so high in an atmospheric engine. Therefore, in order to accelerate sharply, the driver has to squeeze the gas pedal to maximum. Only then the checkpoint discards the transfer. But it takes some time, during which it may seem that the crossover simply does not go.

How to solve such a problem? Very simple. The checkpoint must be transferred to the sports mode. And the turnover will not fall below 2000-3000. Immediately you will be able to sense how much the character of the car has changed. In this mode, the machine is really in the driver's control. However, if you want such dynamics, you need to be ready for increased expenditure. It can reach 15-16 liters per "hundred" in the city. But on the highway - about 8 (in winter a little higher).

Chassis

About it you can learn a lot, if you pay attention to the existing information about the "Infiniti QX50" reviews. The crossover suspension is soft, comfortable, not punched. However, when driving, there is no unforgettable experience of flying. Because all joints, irregularities and holes cause pronounced vertical movements of the body. Some even claim that at such moments faced with "goats". Perhaps this is due to the center of mass shifted toward the middle of the crossover (which, in addition, is also quite high). But the horn does not make any sounds when passing through the irregularities.

However, criticism of the running gear is a very individual moment. It all depends on what people used to drive earlier, and with what car he compares the "Infiniti QX50".

Reviews of the characteristics of the car really allow you to understand better than the manufacturer's description. Naturally, many people pay attention to how this model keeps the road.

Well, if you believe the comments, then she copes with this perfectly and confidently. But as a car, not an off-road car. The all-wheel drive begins to demonstrate itself in those moments when its connection (performed automatically) is necessary. By the way, the moment of its activation is invisible. But the work is palpable. Many happy to note that to leave the traffic light in the strongest snowfall first - this is reality.

But the character of the car is still rear-wheel drive. If you sharply press the accelerator pedal in the turn, then the stern can carry, however this is predictable. In addition, in such moments, ESP immediately works. Which, by the way, can be turned off, than regularly enjoyed by fans of drift. In general, the turns of the crossover pass steadily, even if the gas supply is increased. Front wheels are connected instantly - at the same second as the rear ones start to slip. At these times, it seems that the 4WD is allegedly "pulling" the crossover into a turn.

Equipment

Her, too, many affect attention, leaving about the "Infiniti QX50" reviews. Overview of the car, however, it is impossible to imagine without mentioning such an important topic. After all, how much the car is richly equipped, largely determines the choice of the potential owner.

Even the basic equipment is able to satisfy any demanding motorist. Inside there is a rear-view monitor, a chip key with a push-button start of the engine, air ducts on the floor, heating deflectors, a trip computer display, power windows, a transparent sunroof, electric door locks, landing lights with a delayed shutdown, and 2-zone climate control , Equipped with automatic recirculation, ionizer and air purifier.

In addition, the model is equipped with a buzzer warning of unoccupied headlights, forgotten keys and unclosed trunk lid, mirror with automatic dimming, visors with mirrors and lights, heated seats, cruise control, IPOD / USB + Bluetooth, sports multifunction steering wheel, and brand analog clock . However, this is not even 1/10 of the functions that are available in the crossover.

A lot can be learned about the security system, if you pay attention to the feedback on the "Infiniti QX50" after restyling. It has a crossover at the highest level. Of course, inside there are such familiar options as EBD, BA, ABS, VDC, TCS, TPMS. In addition, there is a central locking with remote control, locking of locks from accidental opening, engine compartment protection from the bottom, alarm with immobilizer, improved air bags (front, side and curtains), active head restraints, 3-point belts with pretensioners, sliding brake pedal unit, Fastenings for children's armchairs and the device of remote opening of a luggage cover in emergency situations.

But special attention should be paid to the "breaking" propeller shaft. It is his presence that contributes to the preservation of the integrity of the passenger compartment with really serious accidents.

On the operation of equipment

As it was already possible to understand, the positive and negative comments about the Infiniti QX50 are celebrated in full. So, talking about the shortcomings, many people mention the work of equipment, which is equipped with a crossover.

Some have complaints about the operation of the rain sensor. On drops, it works instantly. But on the flying snow does not pay any attention.

Headlamps on the level of illumination can be called equivalent, but their adaptability causes constructive criticism. For some, the right turns even in place, and at speeds above 30 km / h - both "stand" in place.

Far light also does not suit many people. Firstly, it's not xenon. Secondly, there is no rotation function. And these are weighty minuses. To incandescent light bulb, time is needed. And this means that when moving to the main beam, there is no delay.

Also, many are not satisfied with the lack of additional sections of lighting turns. This may seem like a trifle, but it is it when maneuvering in yards and narrow thoroughfares is not enough. Also, the lack of a button for translating the instrument panel lighting into the night mode delivers the discomfort. And still there is no digital speedometer. Owners believe that this is a very important option in terms of speed of perception.

Breakdowns and malfunctions

About them, too, many people tell, leaving about the "Infiniti QX50" reviews. On the car in general, there is little to be said for bad, but this crossover, like any other car, is not an ideal and technical perfection. He also has his own shortcomings.

Typical malfunctions include problems with air conditioning (climate control). At many it works too noisily. This is due to the entry into the conditioning system of compressor wear products. And they turn out because the owner did not observe the filling technology. In this regard, you have to change the compressor and air conditioner dehumidifier. In addition, after such repairs, it will always be necessary to perform refueling with the preliminary evacuation of the system. Such consequences can be avoided if the system is properly tuned.

Some owners had to deal with "piss" during braking. Unfortunately, the calipers are a design drawback of many Infiniti cars. But repair becomes a necessity only in the event of more significant consequences. If the calipers start to jam, you need to worry. However, this can be avoided if the mechanisms are regularly serviced, and preferably within the framework of maintenance.

Others have a different problem, and it consists in the spontaneous illumination of all the indicators on the dashboard. In this case, it is necessary to go to the service to perform diagnostics. Most often the problem is revealed in the braking system.

The last malfunction, which many have to face, is the lack of readings on the display, indicating the pressure in the wheels. Usually, the problem lies in the resource of the power supply integrated into the sensor. Sometimes it even turns out to be damaged (due to inaccurate installation of tires).

What else is worth knowing?

Existing crossover "Infiniti QX50" reviews, photos and various descriptions, are quite capable to help understand the specifics and features of this car. But this is not all that can be told about it.

In addition to this car, you can order all kinds of accessories. Many acquire the door sill protector with a unique backlight system, providing additional body protection and maximum comfort when landing. Some people like exclusive velor rugs. However, not all of them are advised to buy - you can see this by paying attention to the feedback about the Infiniti QX50. And the experience of using these accessories also showed that they are impractical. Too quickly get dirty and not easy to clean. Therefore, it is better to order rubber, with a deep pattern. They are easy to clean and withstand any pressure.

Many more order a set of rear and front mudguards. They protect the body from water, small stones and dirt. On the mudguards there are relief contours, so that they are set to the wheel arches as accurately as possible. A useful option is to highlight the threshold, which not only emphasizes the stylish look of the car, but also helps with parking in the dark. This is confirmed by the feedback on the Infiniti QX50.

And the characteristics, by the way, can also be improved if you order some "accessory". This is a pre-start warmer, which provides instant start of the engine and intensive warming up of the cabin even in the harshest frosts. From the ice on the windows a few seconds after his work will not remain a trace. The availability of this unit significantly saves time and allows you to get more comfort and pleasure from the driving process.

Well, in conclusion, we can say that the crossover Infiniti QX50 will be the ideal car for people who are dreaming of purchasing a premium car with rich equipment and powerful technical characteristics. Now the price of the model in the basic version starts from 2 060 000 rubles.
